1. General information
The main objective of this subject is to learn about the different types of materials used in construction, the basic fundamentals of the science of materials, their properties, applications, behavior in service, and the technology developed to improve the properties of materials, in such a way that it allows any student to choose, the most suitable material for each application.
These goals are aligned with some of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda of United Nations (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/), so that the acquisition of the learning results f the subject provides training and competence to contribute to some extent to the achievement of the objectives 8.4, 12.2 and 12.5.
5. Assessment system
Be eligible for the Continuous Assessment system, students must attend at least 80% of the classes and complete the laboratory practicals must be completed.
The student must demonstrate that he/she has achieved the intended learning results through the assessment of the following activities:
Written assessment tests: They will consist of one or more classic written exams, (theory + practice) scored from 0 to 10 points. At least 2 exams, the last one coinciding with the date of the call.
Exercises, theoretical questions and proposed works: The profesteacher sor will propose exercises, problems, practical cases, theoretical questions, etc. to be solved individually in class or through moodle.
Individual activities in class: This activity will be materialized in the presentation and discussion of a PPT work, in class and directed to their classmates.
Laboratory practices: They will not be included in the final grade, but they must be taken in order to be eligible for this type of assessment.
Evaluation/weighting activity:
Individual in-class tests and exams on theory and practical exercises, theoretical questions and proposed papers (PPT presentations). 50%. It will be necessary to score at least 4 out of 10 points to mediate with the exam as of the date of call.
Written final exam of theory and problems: 50 %. A minimum of 4 out of 10 pointswill be required in the total computation of the test in order to mediate with the previous test.
Laboratory practices: 0 %.
For those students who decide to opt for this second system or do not comply with the requirements of the continuous assessment.
Written theory test as of the date of call: 50 %.
Written test problems at the date of call: 50 %
The subject will have been passed based on the sum of the scores obtained in the different activities developed, each one of them contributing with a minimum of 50%. Each of the tests
(theoretical/problems) will contribute to 50% of the grade, being indispensable to obtain at least 40% in each of them
